Remove threading/conversations from Search results

I have recently found that when I conduct a search in Thunderbird the results are provided using a conversations/threaded view. I just want to see the messages individually, regardless of which conversation they were part of.

I know how to turn this feature off in individual folders, but not in the search folder.

How, if at all, can I do this?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This solves a problem I've been trying to address for quite some time now. I have two suggestions as follow-up:

1. In the "Message Threading in Thunderbird" page, it would be helpful to note that this correction doesn't just change the view of email folders, but it also changes whether or not search results are listed with a threaded view.

2. While I have no specific knowledge of the details of how the Thunderbird software is configured, it seems to me that it might be easy to have a checkbox option for Threaded or Not Threaded? That would probably save a lot of users considerable time trying to figure this out!
